I find that I am unable to undestand why I behave impulsively and how to control or stop the behaviour &ndash; once I am in the middle of the behaviour, I am either unconscious or everything I try is ineffective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where does this compulsion come from ? Especially when I am trying to be present and do &ldquo;the right thing&rdquo;. Is this unconscious behaviour the result of my inner dis-ease or my obsession(s) ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experience has taught me, that the only way to free myself from this unconscious, impulsive behaviour is to admit that<em> I<\/em> am the problem. <em>I<\/em> am the one that needs to change &ndash; my behaviour needs to change. I need to stop fighting, surrender and take action. I need to let go and practice my programme consistently. I need to review my programme &ndash; am I going to meetings ? Am I doing stepwork ?
